Our Partners

CureCulture is a people’s concern to end breast cancer.  We envision a world that prioritizes public health for all.  We are partnered with thought leaders, researchers, legislatures and  scientists.  We drafted priorities  that will accelerate the curtailment of the breast cancer epidemic by decreasing the incidence, metastasis and the mortality rate.  We believe these priorities specifically updated prevention, healthcare legislation and robust research will open doors for early intervention,  curtailment and closer to Cure.    

What we do know is that young women are getting diagnosed with more aggressive breast cancers and are more likely to die of the disease.  We now know 30% of early breast cancers will  metastasize.  We know 116 women die each day.  

Unfortunately we have tough work ahead.  Industry has shape-shifted living with the disease as a "Cure".  This narrative while good news for metastatic breast cancer, moves research further away from Cure and even farther from prevention.

We live in a digital age with growing intelligence capabilities. Science and technology coupled with healthcare equity and policy amendments can be a winning strategy when fully supported by the people. 

 The time is now.  Tomorrow is too late.  Let it end with us.  

CureCulture is a coalition of committed activists and advocates across the country and globally that partner with lawmakers, scientists, organizations, leaders and groups who are working with laser-focus to end the disease. 

These strategic partnerships help guide CureCulture efforts ever pointing us toward a CURE.  

We use CURE without "hopium" or commercialization.  We use CURE like a compass and trust the path our partners forge with us.    

CureCulture initiatives are vetted with CureCulture’s thought leaders then spearheaded into action.  CureCulture recognizes roadblocks and detours in our current culture that detract from these efforts and because CureCulture is freestanding, we can leverage real people resources through campaigns and activism, creating sustainable momentum to support and advance innovation toward a CURE.   

After almost 2 decades of activism of which more than 10 were spent in the “Going Flat“ movement and Visibility campaigns,  founder Stacey Sigman said  “We must go upstream with the same energy to end breast cancer".  

In 2022, she was awarded a one-time gift for what she called  "CureCulture" and she shifted her focus to “Ending the breast cancer epidemic “.  

Stacey believes Breast Cancer is a "tolerated health crisis" with antiquated prevention strategies.   

Facts are mammograms miss 20% of breast cancers and fail to screen dense breast.  Risk assessment, screening guidance and risk reduction are missing altogether from the US Preventive Task Force standards.  If there is one thing we can COUNT on, its breast cancer to occur and metastasize at rates that are only increasing.  

What Stacey won't elaborate on is the economic gains in disease managment that banks on breast cancer and has been copting "Pink" "Hope" and "Cure" for decades.  Instead you will find her and CureCulture partnering with the best and brightest to revolutionize prevention, trial vaccines and draft legislation that protects and ensures healthcare to support real prevention.   

Early detection is too late.  Real prevention is before the tumor starts also known as "risk for" breast cancer.  

We are absent a champion in today's breast cancer landscape. There is no Betty Ford sharing her story and revolutionizing  prevention. 

CureCulture will aim to fill these shoes caarry the message to women everywhere.  CureCulture is first and foremost a grassroots

organization engaged in "meaningful activism"' in partnership.  

CureCulture defines breast cancer as a public health crisis demanding systemic

change,  improved prevention strategies, robust funding for  groundbreaking science, and values the cost of people over profits with demonstrated healthcare equity for all.   

For too long, hope has been leading the fight against breast cancer and science an eager competitor for big breakthroughs.  And while we have made progress where people are living longer with the disease, we have not significantly decreased the mortality rate nor the number of women diagnosed which rises every year. 

Facts are every 13 minutes a woman dies of breast cancer, 115 a day.  With the breast cancer epidemic unrelenting and outsmarting our current strategies, CureCulture believes systemic change, not the status quo, will turn the corner toward a cure.
